This invention relates to new and useful improvements and structuralrefinements in holders, and the principal object of the invention is toprovide a device of the character herein described, such as may beconveniently and eiectively employed for supporting the usual dispensingcontainers for waXpaper.

A further object of the invention is to provide a holder oi thecharacter described which may be conveniently attached to suitablesupporting structure, such as for example, a kitchen cabinet, or thelike, and from which the waxpaper may be easily and convenientlywithdrawn.

Another object of the invention is to provide a holder for waxpaperdispensers which is simple in construction, which will not easily becomedamaged, and wherein the waxpaper dispenser may be easily replaced afterthe contents thereof are exhausted.

A. still further object of the invention is to provide a holder forwaxpaper dispensers which will be otherwise well adapted for the purposefor which it is intended.

With the above more important objects in view, and such other objects asmay become apparent as this specification proceeds, the inventionconsists essentially of the arrangement and construction of parts asillustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the invention per se.

Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view, taken substantially in the plane ofthe line 2-2 in Figure l.

Figure 3 is an end view or" the invention, the same being taken in ythedirection of the arrow 3 in Figure l and illustrating a waXpaperdispenser in place therein, and

Figure 4 is a crosssectional view, taken substantially in the plane ofthe line 4 4 in Figure 1 and showing a waxpaper dispenser in place inthe holder.

Like characters of reference are employed to designate like parts in thespecification and throughout the several views,

Referring now to the accompanying drawings in detail, the inventionconsists of a holder designated generally by the reference characterlil, the same being intended for use in association with a dispenser ordispensing container ll of conventional type, containing a roll ofwaxpaper l2.

This container is usually of cardboard construction, being provided inone side thereof with a dispensing slot i3 and with a cutting edge I4,as will be clearly understood.

The holder lil embodies in its construction an elongated housing i5formed from any suitable material, one end of the housing being closedas at IE, while its remaining end is open as at Il, so that thedispenser i i may be inserted into the housing through the open end ofthe latter.

One side of the housing l5 is formed with a longitudinally extendingslot or opening I8, the same being open at one end thereof, namely, atthe open end Il of the housing, and matters being so arranged that whenthe dispenser il is inserted in the housing, the slot I3 and the cuttingedge ill o1 the dispenser will be disposed in the opening I8 of thehousing, so that the dispensing of the paper I2 may be effected.

Means are provided for removably retaining the dispenser il in thehousing i5, said means consisting of a resilient clip E9 secured to thehousing i5, as at 2i, the clip lg including a flange 2l which serves toretain the dispenser il in its position in the housing. Needless to say,the clip E9 may be swung in the direction i of the arrow i2, so as tofacilitate insertion or removal of the dispenser.

The entire holder may be secured to suitable supporting structure, suchas for example, a kitchen cabinet by means of screws (not shown)inserted in suitable apertures 23 with which the holder is equipped.

lt is believed that the advantages and use of the invention will beclearli7 apparent from. the i .regoing disclosure, and accordingly,further description thereof at this point is deemed unnecessary.

While in the foregoing there has been shown and described the preferredembodiment of this invention it is to be understood that minor changesin the details of construction, combination and arrangement of parts maybe resorted to Without departing from the spirit and scope of theinvention as claimed.

Having described the invention what is claimed as new 1s:

A holder for waxpaper dispensers, comprising an elongated dispenserreceiving housing adapted for attachment to supporting structure andhaving an open end, said housing including a back wall and a front wallprovided with a dispensing slot which extends longitudinally in saidiront wall to said open end, and a resilient clip disposed eXteriorly ofthe housing and comprising an elongated back portion positioned againstthe rear surface of said back wall and having one end thereof secured tothe latter, the remaining end of said back portion extending to the openend of said housing, and a forwardly eX- tending flange provided on saidremaining end of said back portion, said ange projecting over the openend of the housing to retain a dispenser therein but being movablerearwardly beyond said back wall to facilitate removal of the stateddispenser.
